Camber is a beautifully designed theme, based around the Color Chooser system, that allows you to choose background, accent, text and link colors, as well as overlay type for each section of the design. Also, choose from a wide variety of patterns for the background.

There are two menu options, Triple Level SplitMenu and Fusion. The latter is a CSS based dropdown menu. Triple Level Splitmenu splits the first level, second level and all further menu items, allowing for for a navigation bar, a dropline and a sidemenu, as configurable.

A uniquely styled feature is the horizontal login in the header area. The styling is automatically applied, without the need for a module suffix, which transforms the vertical login module into a compact, singular lined login, perfect for displaying in space-conscious zones.

Entropy is a truly artistic piece, segregating its layout into distinctly designed panes, that are independently styled and configurable. The separated nature of Entropy allows for a visually enticing appearance, as well as catering for a more conservative look.

The richness of Entropy is composited in part from its prolific use of custom fonts for varying title elements, ranging from content articles to module titles and textual elements in the various extensions, such as the headers for each pane, providing uniqueness.

The template is outfitted with Smooth Scroll, which adds a smooth animation effect to page anchors. The effect activates when the top button is clicked, smoothly scrolling to the top of the page. It also works for sectional scrolling, as demoed in the 1st level menu items.
